    1. This is a Notice of Violation (Notice) issued pursuant to Section 1.89
       of the Commission's rules (Rules), to Educational Media Foundation,
       licensee of Translator Station W288BK in Rochester Hills, Michigan.

       not preclude the Enforcement Bureau from further action if warranted,
       including issuing a Notice of Apparent Liability for Forfeiture for
       the violation noted herein.

    2. On October 23, 2012, an agent of the Enforcement Bureau's Detroit
       Office inspected Station W288BK located in Rochester Hills, Michigan,
       and observed the following violation:

   47 C.F.R. S: Section 74.1265(b): "The call sign of the translator or
   booster together with the name, address, and telephone number of the
   licensee of the licensee or local representative of the licensee if the
   licensee does not reside in the community served by the translator or
   booster, and the name and address of a person and place where the station
   records are maintained, shall be displayed at the translator or booster
   site on the structure supporting the transmitting antenna, so as to be
   visible to a person standing on the ground at the transmitter site. The
   display shall be prepared so as to withstand normal weathering for a
   reasonable period of time and shall be maintained in a legible condition
   by the licensee." At the time of inspection, no signage with the required
   information was posted at the transmitter site.

    3. Pursuant to Section 308(b) of the Communications Act of 1934, as
       amended, and Section 1.89 of the Rules, we seek additional information
       concerning the violations and any remedial actions taken. Therefore,

       statement of the specific action(s) taken to correct each violation
       and preclude recurrence, and (iii) must include a time line for
       completion of any pending corrective action(s). The response must be
       complete in itself and must not be abbreviated by reference to other
       communications or answers to other notices.

    4. In accordance with Section 1.16 of the Rules, we direct Educational
